THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
Views of Congressman Grout-In Favor of
Harrison and Uawley.
From the st. Johnsbury Republican,

From the St. Johnsbury Republican,
Here" said Gen Grout, ''is this great
question of civil service reform. We must
have man in favor of that reform, and
whose record gives assurance that he will
do everything in his power to promote it.
In this respect the ticket have men
tioned-IIarrson and Hawley-is uneXcep.
tionabe. Senator Harrison delivered in
the Senate one of the strongest speeches
ever made in favor of the reform and in
criticism of the democratic sham reform ;
and Gen Hawley Is universally known as
active by voice and vote for civil service
reform Probably a good many of the
leading mugwumps would vote for Cleve.
land no matter whom we nominated
even IT we nominated an angel from
heaven; but in the country at large II
host OF those people upon whom party
ties sit lightly would cast their fortunes
with us.
Harrison and TIawley are both soldiers,
of gallant and honorable records, and the
! fact will tell with the great soldier ele-
ment of the country Both are men of
high ability and of wide experience in
public affairs, and, if elected, will fill the
positions of president and vice president
to the satisfaction Of the great mass of the
people with honor and dignity. On the
whole, therefore. looking at the thing
from every point of view, | am convinced
that Harrison and Hawley is the strong
est ticket we can nominate. am free to
| say that looking at ability and not at
availability the sames might be trans
/ posed but the trouble is the West doesn't
| want an Eastern man aud won't have
| one-uuless it be Mr.. Blaine, who is not
distnctively an Eastern man, but ma
! tional man"
But" questioned the reporter, che
/ present outlook is very strongly in favor
of Mr.. Blaine, is it not -
at is, f." respOnded-Gen. Grout; cit looks
now very much as if Mr.. Blaine would be
the nominee. If such proves to he the
case we shall lose the mugwump vote, of
course but we shall make large gains from
the rank and file of the democratic party
and from what may be called in general
| way the labor vote. Bat whoever may be
nominated we shall carry the day at the
next election. Put that prediction down

In this season of agricultural fairs, 1t is
well that all should understand that the
provisions of our prohibitory law referring
to sales of liquor in or near far grounds,
are especially rigid. The following sec
tons of the law will be found worthy of
study by all who are inclined to under
take the Illicit supply of whiskey upon
such occasions:
Ot. l.. 5S2l) A sheriff, .sherih's deputy,
cor stable, selcctmau or grand juror, if he has
Information that Intoxicating liqusr is kept
with an intention to sell, orr sold in any tent,
shanty, hut, or place of any kind for selling
refreshments in public place, except dwell
ing houses, Oh or near the ground Of Il cattle
show, ayr cultural exhibition, military mus
ter or pubic occasion OF any kid, snail
search such suspected place without warrant;
and If such officer finds upon the premises in
toXicating liquor, he shall seize the same and
apprehe nd the keeper OF such place and take
MN, with the liquor so seized, forthwith or as
81 on as conveniently may be, before a justice
of the town in which the same is found and
thcreupon such officer shall make written
complaint under oath, and subscribed by nm,
to such justice;- and upon proof that
the liquor is intoxicating, and that
the same was found in the possession of the
accused in a tent shanty. or other PLACE, with
an intention to sell, he shall be sentenced 10
imprisonment for 30 days, and the liquor
Sc zcd shall he DdjGdged forfeited ana DIS
posed of bY Orderuf said justice rs before pro-
yldcd in this chapter.
(R. l.. 3s2lJ No appeal shall he allowed to
the claimant from tne Judgment OF the court,
unit, he enters into rccOgHi2ancc 10 the
5 tate, with sufficient sureties, in such sum as
the count directs, conditioned that he Will
prosecute his appeal TO effect and pay the
| costs awarded against him.
1t will be seen that the seller of liquor at
any fair or muster can not be let OFF with
a fine, The sole punishment is imprison-
ment for 30 days. The law allows the
officer no discretion as to whether or no
he shall make search, if informed that
liquor is being sold nor can he wait for Il
warrant. Under the change in the law
made by the last legislature it is no longer
necessary that the complainant be a resi-
dent of the town. Any one, man or wo-
man, resident or nonresident, can now
make complaint, if he or she has reason Ia
believe that liquor is sold at or near a fair
ground and the officer complained to
must take the necessary action Under
this law there ought TO be no difficulty in
thoroughly REFRESHING the sale of iutoX-
| icants at agricultural fairs

NoLETUP ON PARNELL.

Notwithstanding the emphatic denial
OF Mr.. Parnell and Of Mr.. Egan, the con-
sentative members OF commons persist
in charging the forged letter upon the
Irish leader. All remonstrances against
this injustice are unheeded by the speak
er, who is as much u partisan In his con-
duct Of public business as ever was the
Infamous Jefirles on the bench. The
whole history OF partial, onesldedness
in the discharge Of great public trust,
does not parallel this open and unblush-
ing fayorltism Of the speaker OF the Eng
lish house Of commons. The entire
weight and authority OF the speakershlp
is brought to bear to discredit the lid
eral movement in and out OF the British
parliament. 1t is now proposed In or
der to secure majority, undiminished,
for the second reading OF the crimes act
to lay upon the table OF the house OF
commons, all the private dispositions OF
the crown witnesses In the Phoenix
Park and other murder trials, for the
purpose OF fastening upon the
Irish party the odium OF
these crimes. The fact that these
witnesses were never confronted
with others in open court, that their tes-
timony is one sided and purely ex parte,
will not weigh one grain against the ex-
pressed determination to force the pres
ent coercion bill through at all hazards.
The ministerislists themselves admit
that large concessions must be made and
grave amendments accepted when the
bill is considered In committee OF the
whole, aud 1t is their fear Of the ulti-
mate result which has induced them to
q course as unusual as 1t is despotic, I'M
just and utterly subversiye OF all repre-
sentative government. The success OF
the coercion bill, under such circum-
stances. will so politically damn the
Euglish conservative party and this in
famous Salisbury administration, that
there will be little hope of their ever
again being called TO power.

ODDS AND ENDS

The prohibition campaign, when 1t
gets under way, bids fair to be the
hottest and most stubbornly contested
one that has ever taken place in Texas.
Neither side will confine its campaign
within the bounds Of moderation and
violence OF denunciatiOn never fails TO
provoke similar display from the other
side and to produce illfeellngs and
arrangements between DeigbbOrs and
friends.
There lie a good prospect of a crop OF
mushroom or campaign papers In Texas,
but they will accomplish but little on
either side, since none except their par
tisans will read them. Such papers will
not reach the great mass OF the voters of
Texas, and will be apt TO be much too
violent and denuRciatory to have any
weight with rejecting men.

TO be consistent, they will have to vote
for prohibition, or cancel the clause that
bars the door OF their order against such
as retail liquor.
